Chapter 15: The Majesty of the Xingyang Army (9)
Ask for the first order, the first change.
I don't know how long I vomited, Li Xuanba only felt that he had even vomited up the sour water, so he washed his face and sat on the shore in a daze.
The Xingyang Army has always been trained by Li Jing and others, so Li Xuanba has a lot of time to do what he wants to do, such as learning to fight. Especially when Li Gou arrived in Xingyang, Li Xuanba had someone who could really fight, and his progress was even faster.
"After all, it was still a murder." After sitting for about half an hour, Li Xuanba looked at his hands and muttered, "It's really easy to learn to kill!" ”
Chiyan seemed to sense that Li Xuanba's mood was not good, and rubbed him with his head, Li Xuanba turned his head, touched Chiyan's head, smiled palely, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little unaccustomed." ”
After cleaning the horse lance, Li Xuanba rode on Chiyan, walked back along the river for a while, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and whispered: "Chiyan, you should remember the way back, right?" ”
Chiyan hissed and shook his head, looking disgusted.
The way back was actually not complicated, but Li Xuanba only wanted to catch up with Meng Rang before, so he didn't deliberately remember the way. He went up the river, and before he reached the bridge, he heard someone calling out to him.
"General, are you alright?" Li Xuanba followed the sound and rode over, and the cavalry saw Li Xuanba and asked with concern.
"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Li Xuanba said calmly, the soldier looked at Li Xuanba, and saw that his face was pale and bloodless, and his heart was indeed very similar to something.
The cavalry gathered one after another, Pei Yuanqing looked at Li Xuanba's gaze, looking a little dignified, Li Xuanba remembered that he had snatched his weapon, and said embarrassedly: "That will be impulsive, Brother Pei, don't take it to heart." ”
"It's okay if you're okay, adult." Pei Yuanqing approached Li Xuanba. said casually: "General Qin's horse lance is a bit heavy, my lord should return it to Yuanqing." ”
"I'm just weaker, and I'm not a waste." Li Xuanba understood the meaning of Pei Yuanqing's words, said calmly, and handed the horse lance to Pei Yuanqing at the same time.
Pei Yuanqing took the horse lance and was stunned. If Li Xuanba really didn't lose his strength, he should have thrown the horse lance over directly, right? But when he found Li Xuanba's pale face, the doubts in his heart could not be relieved after all, so he forced himself to calm down and asked softly, "My lord, what's wrong with your face?" What about Meng Rang's traitor? ”
"Don't mention it, if it weren't for Chiyan's fast running, Xuanba would not be able to come back." Li Xuanba shook his head and sighed, and said, "I didn't expect it." You didn't catch up, and when Meng Rang turned around, I didn't know what to do, so I could only run away. ”
Pei Yuanqing lowered his head a little ashamedly, but after thinking about it, adults also know that Chiyan is running fast, how can we catch up? Thinking of this, he calmed down. Looking at Li Xuanba's face again, he was just frightened. I couldn't help but chuckle.
Li Xuanba didn't pay attention to what Pei Yuanqing was laughing at, turned around and looked at the cavalry behind him, which had been basically integrated, and said loudly: "General Li Jing is resisting Wang Bodang's siege at the upper east gate, do you dare to follow me to help him?" ”
There were only more than 1,800 horsemen in the field, and the other 200 horsemen escorted the Wagang army and war horses back to the city first. The idea that less than 2,000 men wanted to surprise an army of 50,000 from behind was a bit ridiculous.
But no one raised doubts, because it was the Xingyang army guarding the upper east gate!
After a few months of getting along, the 20,000 soldiers in Xingyang have no distinction from each other, whether it is the more than 10,000 people left by Zhang Xutuo. or 10,000 soldiers from Taiyuan, all of whom were engraved with the imprint of the Xingyang Army.
"Lu Jie, Xu Li, the two of you go back from Houzaimen, go from the city to the Upper East Gate, and then let General Li prepare." Except for the sound of horses' hooves stumbling on the ground, the field was extremely quiet, and Li Xuanba ordered: "As soon as noon arrives tomorrow, we will rush to kill the enemy formation." ”
The two youngest cavalrymen were a little displeased, but they did not dare to disobey the military order, so they received the order and rode away.
Pei Yuanqing didn't understand Li Xuanba's military order, and on the way to the upper east gate, he asked curiously: "My lord, Li Mi knows that the conspiracy is exposed, and he will inevitably choose to withdraw his troops, besides, they dare to attack the city, how can they give the adults a chance to sneak attack?" ”
"That's why we've had to take a long detour." Li Xuanba replied: "There are many Wagang thieves' infantry, and the speed will definitely not be fast, Lu Jie and the others will go to the upper east gate, but two hours, when the Wagang thieves know that Meng Rang has failed, they will withdraw their troops, General Li Jing has received the news, he knows what to do." ”
"Yuan Qing still feels a little risky." Pei Yuanqing said in a low voice: "If we meet the Wagang thief halfway, what should we do?" ”
"Brother Pei, do you think they will be interested in chasing two thousand cavalry?" Li Xuanba said with a smile: "If you really meet, at most you should walk the dog." ”
When Pei Yuanqing heard this, he smiled and said, "The adult's metaphor is really just right. After a pause, he wondered again, "What is the purpose of the adults?" ”
"There is not much food in the eastern capital, so we must find a way to feed the people, right?" Li Xuanba didn't smile at all, and said with a sad face: "General Zhang once said that you can't lose it when you go back to Luocang, but now that it's been lost, I always have to try to see if I can take it back." Pei Yuanqing understood, and didn't ask any more, if Xindao could capture Luocang, it would be worth taking some risks.
Li Xuanba is very eating, but his figure is still thin, but at this time, in Pei Yuanqing's eyes, he has become extremely tall, and even when Li Xuanba easily defeated him, Pei Yuanqing didn't feel that Li Xuanba was as tall as he is today.
Nearly 2,000 horsemen did make a big circle, and after the second day, they arrived at their destination, Li Xuanba ordered everyone to cut down some luxuriant branches, and then let everyone dismount and rest, eat something, and sleep, although they rested for more than an hour, but everyone still looked very tired.
People don't get tired, and horses also need to rest, right?
There was still half an hour left in the ion time, Pei Yuanqing gently woke up Li Xuanba, pointed to the sky, Li Xuanba rubbed his eyes, and found that the soldiers were ready, he couldn't help but blush, smiled apologetically, and then rode on the horse and asked everyone to tie the branches to the horse. He said loudly: "You don't believe in your comrades? ”
"Believe!" The voice was neat and unified, and no one hesitated.
"Be quiet, don't let the thieves hear." Li Xuanba laughed and scolded, everyone laughed, Li Xuanba waved his long arm, pointed to the north, and shouted: "Since everyone believes, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?" As soon as the words fell, nearly 2,000 cavalry went straight to the east gate. The lush branches dragged on the ground, raising countless dust, as if there were thousands of horses.
Looking at the dust and smoke billowing in the distance, Li Jing gave an order, and the Upper East Gate, which Wang Bodang couldn't attack for a long time, opened it by himself. (To be continued.) )
